Hot weather this summer has put strains on many electric utilities trying to keep up with the demand for air conditioning and irrigation.

Tom Kent, President and C.E.O. of the Nebraska Public Power District, says they have a wide mix of power sources helping them meet the demand…..

Kent says they believe they are well positioned…..

Kent says while they have a goal of zero carbon emissions, power demand will help decide that timeline….

The NPPD Board has decided the utility will produce carbon free electricity by 2050.
